How much acid is required to fill the battery?

It was two containers but don't remember how much each held. But it took a lot. Won't buy another battery like this though. By the time you buy the acid you could have gotten a battery all ready to go.

Automotive batteries are not typically rated in amp hours. I would estimate a car battery to be in the range of 60-100 amp hours depending on its size. Car batteries are designed to be starting batteries; not deep cycle batteries. It is important not to confuse volts, amps, amp hours. Your battery is 12 volts as well has the heater. When connected and turned on it will draw current of approximately 25 amps to generate the 300 watts of heat. On a larger 100 amp hour battery it will drain it roughly 50% in 2 hours (25 amp x 2 hours = 50 amp hours).

you do have to fill it with the acid that comes with it, which takes like ten minutes, if that, but you don't have to charge it, i filled it and as soon as i put the caps on it i tested the voltage and it was over 12 volts, put it on my quad and started right up, i then rode arround and let it charge some more!

I believe there's a sticker with a picture on it. it is truly as simple as taking the bottle and putting it on top of the battery and pushing the bottle down over the holes. wait for the acid to drain into the battery then remove the bottle. Install the cap over the holes. Charge the battery at 2 Amps until done. the whole process shouldn't take more than an hour.

I bought the acid basement watchdog recommended. Sorry don't know exact name. Would strongly suggest buying a small funnel to fill battery instead of using the pinch method in instructions.

Hello. You need to call a company called 'PumpBiz'. Just google them. I have a marine battery so it is sealed and does not need acid. The watchdog has a long metal prong that is suppose to go into the battery cell so as to alert you when the acid drops and you need to fill it (if you have that kind of battery). If you have a non acid battery such as mine you need to cut off the long prong and strip the wire so as to wrap it around the battery post. If you are using a acid filled battery and have the prong inside, I do not know why you have the sound? Sometimes the battery gets confused that it is not getting enough energy and will sound a alert. Call PumpBiz and talk to Jeff Richmond, he will help you. You can also google and call the Watchdog manufactures. Hope this helps.

The batterys were near full charge. I put them on a Battery Tender overnight and they werre full up by morning.

I had the same question. Regardless, the battery was a great deal even when I had to go buy acid elsewhere.

A Lead-Acid battery like this begins its useful lifespan as soon as it is filled with acid. If you buy a battery that was filled several years ago, it may be about to expire by the time you fit it into your application. Also, the flipping and turning during shipment may cause acid to leak from the vent holes, causing battery damage and a hazardous situation. Generally, an empty battery is shipped with a bottle of acid so you can activate it yourself, but this vendor has chosen not to.

The batteries needed are two D cells, preferably alkaline. A set of batteries should give you 20-25 hours of running time.

1 amp = 1000 ma (milliamperes) batteries are rated for 10 hours using this method so. 3.4 amps per hour for 10 hours.

yes the battery is a deep seeded acid battery. You can get another one and interconnect it. Only one i believe

You need to get online and down load a solar calculater. You will need to know how many amps your car battery draws in a recharge cycle.

Acid is already in it when you receive it, all I did was hook it up to a battery charger to make sure it was fully charged and then it's ready to go.

A fully depleted battery should be fully charged in about 3 hours. Thank you

I honestly can't remember as I bought two batteries. A different one for each ATV I have. I believe this one did not come with acid. I had ot buy it separately.

It comes dry with the acid in a seperate container. It's very easy to fill with no spillage as the acid container fits into the holes on the top of the battery.
